A fun, light book filled with thing you can do on short notice (meaning they don't often require a lot of prep).
There is a lot of stuff in the book, some hit and some miss. I managed to get a few eye rolls from the 9 year-old daughter so that tells me the book is spot on.
Does the phrase "dad joke" mean anything to you? I was surprised I learned a better way to teach a kid to ride a bike. Why didn't I realize that! Has cool things like that. Lots of stuff you need a reminder of and even questions a child will ask that perhaps you should know the answer too. What's the diff between a croc and an alligator? Why is the sky blue? Tricks to do with a dollar bill, etc. "This book is required reading for all current or future dads." I Agree.

You will learn some great tricks and be reminded of some classics you marveled at as a child. "Looking back now we laugh at the corniness, but when my dad would do some of the stuff in this book I remembered loving it. Super cute ways for dads (or moms) to interact and keep kids attention :)
Thought my husband would like this book, but I've used it way more than he has. There is a whole chapter of fun things to entertain very little kids, so that's the chapter I reference. I like that I can just flip the book open, quickly pick something, and then shut the book to play with my kids... It is user friendly and inspires action. This would make a great gift book!
